Why is Warner Bros. Discovery putting old movies on YouTube?
A major studio is apparently treating YouTube as a place to drop some of its archive films that have lost their cinematic luster. My mind is admittedly blown.
One such film on the list: The 11th Hour, an environmental documentary that was created by Leonardo DiCaprio in 2007 but was ultimately overshadowed by the similar An Inconvenient Truth, released a year prior. If I was going to speculate, my guess is that Warner has kind of put itself in this awkward place where it has failed to give a home to some of its less-heralded content on streaming services. It’s not that this is a bad film—it seems to be, more than anything else, that it is kind of a forgotten one, poorly presented by the studio that paid millions of dollars to make and distribute it.
